Nothing Can Survive My Million Slug Attack

Two. Gulpin. Tuesday. You know the drill by now.

I was injured when our house was b0mbed while we were inside. Due to the complete destruction of the healthcare system in G@za, I urgently ne.ed surgery outside the Strip to s@ve my life. Worse still, I suffer from severe anemia, which causes frequent fainting spells due to low blood counts, and I cannot even afford basic medications because of their exorbitant prices, and I don't know what I'm going to do now.

So i desperately need your supp0rt and h@lp by d0nating to cover the c0st of my medication and secure my release for urgent surgery. Please don't leave me alone; every second counts in my life.

im so hungry i could eat a amazing food and refreshing drink

reblog to tell prev she's pawsome <3

*takes a drag of a candy cigarette* I never thought I would make it to this many

the fact that I feel the need to go, "and don't forget about Black people" is the most damning indictment of tumblr that I can give without being tempted to mention photovoltaic bartholemew. I have to browbeat you people to reblog any kind of Melanistic Mention. I love you, but i despair of you understanding the way I interpret your suburban accent.

Tears that are driven by white guilt are self-indulgent. When we are mired in guilt, we are narcissistic and ineffective; guilt functions as an excuse for inaction. Further, because we so seldom have authentic and sustained cross-racial relationships, our tears do not feel like solidarity to people of color we have not previously supported. Instead, our tears function as impotent reflexes that don’t lead to constructive action. We need to reflect on when we cry and when we don’t, and why. In other words, what does it take to move us? Since many of us have not learned how racism works and our role in it, our tears may come from shock and distress about what we didn’t know or recognize. For people of color, our tears demonstrate our racial insulation and privilege. I asked the woman of color I refer to in the opening of this chapter if I was missing anything in this list. This is her response: It’s infuriating because of its audacity of disrespect to our experience. You are crying because you are uncomfortable with your feelings when we are barely allowed to have any. You are ashamed or some such thing and cry, but we are not allowed to have any feelings because then we are being difficult. We are supposed to remain stoic and strong because otherwise we become the angry and scary people of color. We are only allowed to have feelings for the sake of your entertainment, as in the presentation of our funerals. And even then, there are expectations of what is allowed for us to express. We are abused daily, beaten, raped, and killed but you are sad and that’s what is important. That’s why it is sooooo hard to take. White Fragility, Robin DiAngelo (emphasis mine)
